Ch.1
In
this
example,
the
left
hand
RX21
sends
MIDI
data
to
the
right
hand
RX21,
as
described
later
in
this
chapter.
Whichever
way
you
wish
to
send
data,
the
con-
nections
should
be
made
as
shown.
The
RX21
offers
two
clock
modes
(also
known
as
sync
modes
or
synchronization
modes)
which
function
as
follows:
1. INTERNAL.
This
is
the
normal
RX21
mode.
The
playback
of
patterns
and
songs
is
synchronized
to
the
RX21's
own
internal
clock,
the
speed
of
which
is
adjusted
by
the
TEMPO
control.
The
internal
mode
is
also
used
when
external
sequencers
or
rhythm
ma-
9
chines
are
to
be
synchronized
to
the
RX21's
internal
clock,
which
is
transmitted
via
the
MIDI
OUT
connector.
2. MIDI.
In
this
mode
the
playback
of
patterns
and
songs
is
synchronized
to
a
MIDI
clock
signal
received
from
an
external
sequencer,
music
computer
or
another
rhythm
machine,
via
the
MIDI
IN
connector
on
the
RX21
rear
panel.
In
this
case
the
tempo
is
controlled
by
the
device
which
is
transmitting
the
MIDI
clock
signal.
The
desired
clock
mode
is
selected
by
pressing
the
MIDI
button.
Normally,
the
LCD
will
read
“CLOCK:
INTERNAL”,
indicating
that
the
internal
clock
mode
is
selected.
To
select
the
external
clock
mode,
press
the
+1/YES
button.
“CLOCK:
MIDI"
will
appear
on
the
LCD.
If
you
wish
to
switch
back
to
"CLOCK:
INTERNAL",
press
the
—
1/NO
button.
Once
the
selection
has
been
made,
press
any
other
main
function
key
to
exit.
If
you
turn
the
RX21
power
off,
the
next
time
you
turn
it
on
again,
the
internal
clock
mode
will
be
selected.
